摘要：

Connexin proteins make intercellular channels - gap junctions - which provide a direct pathway for cell-cell signaling in vertebrates. Studies of mice lacking connexin genes have demonstrated the need for intercellular transfer of messenger molecules and are uncovering the specific functions of each connexin.
